Torquay LTC coach Tracy Brown said the children (pictured) deserved their chance to shine.
"All the children have put in a lot of work attending squads with me and extra sessions I have run on Sundays," she said.
"The children all have a great time, and having seven from Torquay is very good and we are proud of them all. Hopefully names to watch for the future."
Kendal Brown, coach at Torquay, was invited by Devon LTA to assist on the day, giving the children another familiar face, while Tracy Brown and head coach Steve Maslen went along to watch and support.
